We have a system where you can purchase seats in classrooms. We have a good way of checking if seats exist at checkout but we want to implement a &quot;reservation&quot; system where a user &quot;reserves&quot; a seat when they add it to their cart but it doesn't actually &quot;purchases&quot; the seat until they checkout.<br />
<br />
In doing this we want to implement a timer where we can notify them if they went over the limit. How would I be able to do this using javascript if they decide to venture off the cart page?<br />
Is there any way for us to &quot;remember&quot; the timing for that customer? I know places like TicketMaster does this sort of thing but how do they implement it?<br />

Our backend is PHP. We communicate to Oracle through a .Net webservice using the nuSoap classes in our PHP scripts.
